I have a 1999 NB8a auto which is stock standard and I am trying to gain a little more power without going down the Supercharger or Turbo track.
I understand an aftermarket pod filter or CAI plus X force s/s headers with 2.5" s/s piping, high flow cat etc. will probably only give a gain of around 5hp for around $1,400 incl. labour.
Perhaps the better way to go is to instal an Adaptronic ECU for perhaps a 10 to 15 hp gain & extra 20nm torque?
Leaving the rest standard this would cost around $1,800 fitted (MX5 Mania).
Of course I could do both for around $3,200 but it is certainly not cost effective for the gain achieved & this is getting into S/C or Turbo money.
Anyone gone down the Adaptronic road with the NB model, & if so am I on the right track with power & torque gains & are there any complications involved?
I am not looking to cause a great debate about power gains etc....just hoping to get some advice from people who may have done this.
Any help appreciated....
